my 2025 goals as a college student

some of my 2025 goals!

i’m turning 20 this year and I definitely am not sure how i want my life to play out, and that’s okay because i’m not supposed to have anything planned right now!

I encourage everyone in their 20s to not stress too much because these are the years where you are supposed to try anything and everything and make a few mistakes!

i’m feeling really good about this new year and hoping to achieve at least one of my goals! 🥰

2024/12/18 Edited to

As a college student in NYC, mapping out goals for 2025 can be both exciting and daunting. Among my top priorities are getting an apartment in Manhattan or Brooklyn, which not only promotes independence but also pays homage to the vibrant culture of New York City. Becoming a certified Pilates instructor will allow me to deepen my fitness journey and share my passion with others. Moreover, I plan to study abroad in London while backpacking across Europe to gain fresh experiences and learn from diverse cultures. It’s essential to prioritize personal growth during these transformative years, which is why I want to pay off a significant portion of my student debt to secure a stable financial future. Lastly, I'm contemplating giving my dog, Toby, a sibling, adding more joy and companionship to our lives. Setting these objectives not only shapes my college experience but also encourages others to embrace their unique journeys during this dynamic decade.
